After a decade of a heavily sedentary lifestyle I decided to get my life in order and take up running. These are my stories as I run farther and faster in my 30s than I ever have before.

Race Photos Where I Don't Look Like Death

So my race photos always look horrible. I'm always so focused on trying to do my best in a race that I either ignore the photographers or I look like I'm running from death. Today I saw how differently I look when I'm running a race for fun and just goofing around. Even the photo of me at mile 12.5 isn't even that awful.

Here I am at mile 4. Going nice and all smiles. I tried to give a thumbs up, but the photographer was a bit too fast for me.

Now we get to Mile 11 and I'm still in good shape. I think I tried a point and wink here but failed miserably.

Lastly here is me around mile 12.5. There is no visible sweat or even the real look of strain. I was just focused at this point and ran my fastest mile of the race.

With such good photos, makes me wish I would of shaved before the race. Oh well.
